# Devious Toy Dioramas (UPDATE) 'Toy Stories' by Aled Lewis is Now Available for Sale By Jordan M | Published 2011-03-29 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-stories-by-aled-lewis References: [randommization](http://randommization.com/2011/03/28/prints-use-toys-to-tell-stories/#more-14226) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/35699504@N00/5562276642) Though this is not the first installment of 'Toy Stories' by Aled Lewis, this hilarious new collection has now been put up for sale on inPrint, meaning that fans can get their hands on their own personal copy of their favorite pieces. Featuring [toys posed in humorous situations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon) with ironic captions and speech bubbles, 'Toy Stories' by Aled Lewis finds an innocuously amusing way to create charming, but simultaneously subversive comedy. My personal favorite is the [Mario reinterpretation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-de-guzman-1), which puts a turtle in between a plumber and the princess, although the hungry shark clumsily trying to trick its prey is definitely a close second. Needless to say, if you’re a fan of 'Toy Stories' by Aled Lewis, you won’t want to miss the chance to snap up some of his work at inPrint’s online sale. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Humorous Toy Dioramas:** There is a growing trend of creating toy dioramas that feature toys in humorous situations and ironic captions, offering an opportunity for toy manufacturers to create unique and entertaining products. - **Subversive Comedy Art:** The popularity of 'Toy Stories' by Aled Lewis highlights the trend of subversive comedy art, suggesting an opportunity for artists and galleries to explore and promote this type of artwork. - **Online Art Sales:** The online sale of 'Toy Stories' by Aled Lewis emphasizes the trend of selling art online, presenting an opportunity for e-commerce platforms to cater to the growing demand for art collecting and purchasing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** The humorous toy dioramas trend presents an opportunity for toy manufacturers to create unique and entertaining products that cater to the demand for humorous and ironic toys. - **Art and Design:** The subversive comedy art trend opens up new opportunities for artists and galleries to explore and promote this type of artwork, attracting art enthusiasts who appreciate humor and satire. - **E-commerce:** The online sale of art, such as 'Toy Stories' by Aled Lewis, highlights the growing trend of online art sales and presents an opportunity for e-commerce platforms to provide a convenient and accessible platform for art collectors and buyers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited Humorous Art Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-shrigley-1.md) - [Limited-Edition Erotica Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-stories.md) - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md) - [Artist-Designed Toy Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-toy-series.md) - [Artful Collectible Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva.md) - [Geometric Design Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-little-toy-by-eames-office.md) - [Whimsical Gnome Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-gnome-on-the-roam.md) - [Surreal Dark Comedy Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-digital-circus.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md)
